Questions Jesus Asked | Why Are You Weeping?

About this episode

The episode explores how Jesus meets us in our grief and the significance of his question to Mary outside the empty tomb.

Mary is crying outside an empty tomb. The miracle has already happened—but she doesn’t know it yet. Then Jesus asks her a simple question: “Why are you crying?” It’s the first question of the resurrection. And it reminds us that Jesus meets us in real grief—not polished faith. Easter doesn’t pretend that loss isn’t painful. It promises that loss is not the end. This Sunday, we begin Questions Jesus Asked and explore how the risen Lord meets us in our tears and turns mourners into witnesses.
